St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Jimmy Nicholl has joined the club as a first team coach.
The Northern Irishman joins his fellow countryman, manager Oran Kearney, at Saints.
Jimmy, who had a playing career that saw him turn out for the likes of Manchester United, Sunderland and West Brom, checks in at the Buddies after most recently being assistant manager at Rangers.
Jimmy has also held coaches roles at the Northern Ireland national side, Falkirk, Cowdenbeath, Hibernian, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Dunfermline.
Speaking on joining the club, Jimmy told stmirren.com: "It's my first day today but on the evidence of what I've seen this morning there's a really good spirit about the place.
"Oran is a young, ambitious, enthusiastic manager and you can see the drive that he has got. That enthusiasm should rub off on all the players and all the staff and that drive and determination.
"I look forward to it," he continued. "My job will be when there are difficult times. If we are winning everyone is happy, but it's the difficult times you have to keep everyone lifted."
